As a first step, you may want to make sure that your system meets the
minimum requirements. The installation of a few
important updates from the Microsoft web site, most notably DirectX (version
9.0 or higher), as well as the latest display card drivers,
are
known to solve most issues.
Settings also need to be
changed if in some screen modes the lower portion of the screen is not displayed properly.
These are explained more in detail in the UAE section of the Amiga Forever documentation.
By default, audio is disabled in some configurations (which are marked by
a "-" sign in the configuration name). It can be enabled
manually.
If some of the keys which are pressed on the keyboard do not correspond to the
characters which appear on screen, then use the Amiga Input Preferences to indicate the
correct keyboard language. By default, the Amiga emulation environment is preset for a
US-keyboard, which mainly results in certain national characters not being mapped properly
on non-US keyboards.
If you use a graphics tablet to control the pointer, some versions of the emulation
software require that the tablet be configured in mouse emulation mode (relative moves,
rather than absolute moves), or otherwise the Amiga mouse pointer will move erratically.
Similar problems with Wacom tablets have been reportedly fixed by installing
newer, DirectInput-compatible, Wacom drivers.
If a completely blank screen or window persists for a longer time after
the emulation is launched, click once in the black area (with the left mouse
button). In many cases this has the effect of speeding up the Amiga boot
process.
Additional troubleshooting notes, which apply to the manual configuration of the
emulation software, are available in the respective sections of the Amiga Forever
documentation.
